Here's a Taste of What Unreal Engine 4 Can Do

Can't wait to see what developers do with this. I'm sure the first bunch of games using this engine are going to really shove the whole particle effect thing in your face. :P

agreed, that said this engine is being tailored to consoles where there isn't much ram. pretty particle effects can be done on the gpu, the same with the cloth dynamics. Might be physX infact. fancy textures come second when ram is at a premium.

It's nice to see an engine built for consoles that's employing some new graphical tech that the PC has had for a while.

or I'm talking out my ass :D

Watched the in-depth presentation they did on the new engine features. And yeah, they're pushing particle effects hard.

Looks great, wonder what kinda horsepower it's gonna take to render games in it.

Textures still look like typical Epic low resolution smudge-fests. The lava movement looked really amazing though.

Yummy. I look forward to a beautiful RPG.

Anyone else get a LotR vibe?

So games can look like this next gen? If so holy fuck, that is all.

From a texture quality point of view, this looks worse than the first Crysis game. Pretty particles, landscapes and skybox however.

Well, color me impressed.

Anyone know what metal album they stole that art from?

Infinity Blade 4 looks great

I like the part where the graphics were good

PARTICLLLLEEEESSSSS.

Between Watch Dogs, Agni's Philosophy, Star Wars 1313 and Unreal Engine 4, last week was a great time to be a graphics whore.

Brilliant stuff right here.

Whatever happened to that overlord series? Could use some more being evil.

Dual Cliff-processing power.

As a person who plays predominantly on PC, the graphics in recent games don't seem far short of this. Could some tech-head point out what separates the Unreal 4 future from the Unreal 3 present?

If they could live in a world where my games look as good as Blizzard CGI cutscenes.... I will die a happy man.

You know, I think this was a missed opportunity for Epic to turn over a new leaf and call their engine '4real'.

So games can look like this next gen? If so holy fuck, that is all.

So basically, the games will look that good in ~5-10 years.

I dislike the lack of texture pop in, thus Unreal 3 is a superior product.

giant bomb is really late on the draw with these vids haha

i think UE4 tech is very impressive and exciting for what the future will hold. when i see these effects i dont think 'oh great, now every game is going to have this' i think 'the good games will use this tech in interesting and unique ways' .. this presents an EXTREME amount of potential . . the lighting, the liquid physics, particle physics, etc. . amazing

That looks pretty!

This makes want to play a new Overlord game.

Crazy.

Textures stretching on the lava.

Just kidding, looks amazing.

nice

Edit: really nice
